In our continuing efforts to support student and faculty research during Limited Campus Operations, the UTEP Library has implemented procedures to provide the following services to all UTEP, Students, Staff and Faculty:
We understand the importance of being able to move forward on critical research and will continue to do all we can to support your academic endeavors. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us at any time using this form.

Current UTEP students, staff, and faculty. At this time, borrowing services for other users (Community Users, Alumni Association Members, etc.) have not yet resumed.
Where to submit the request?
Use this form to submit your request.
What information should the book request include?
*= required information
What collections can books be requested from?
Main Stacks, Children's Collection, Browsing, Western Fiction, and items from the Government Documents and Maps Collections that are marked for circulation ("Available").
How to pick up the books?
After receiving an email notification that their requested items are ready, faculty and graduate students may pick their items up at the UTEP Library's Access Services Desk on the second (entry) floor.
How long will it take for the requests to be ready for pick-up?
Approximately 1 business day.
Where can I find more information about the Library's regular circulation policies (loan times, fees, borrowing limits, etc.)
On this page.
If you have any books checked out that are due between March 1st, 2020 and September 14th, 2020, their due date has been extended to September 15th.
Please return your books to the book drop slot on the front of the Library building just past the bike racks instead of bringing them inside the building. This will help us quarantine and sanitize the books before returning them to the shelves.
If you need resources from Special Collections, please contact Claudia Rivers (crivers@utep.edu) or Abbie Weiser (ahweiser@utep.edu) to schedule an appointment.
If you need access to our Microfilm/Microfiche collections, please request an appointment using this form.
From the ILL Department:
We will begin requesting physical items on 8/17/2020. Please keep in mind that many libraries are not sharing their collections yet, but we will try to obtain your items from the ones that are sharing. Turnaround times for delivery may be higher than our usual 7-11 business days.
We had been renewing all currently checked out items because lending libraries were not accepting returns, however, most libraries are now accepting their items back, so the ILL overdue notices will resume on 8/24/2020. All currently checked out items that are due before 8/24/2020 will continue to be automatically renewed. You can check the current status and due dates of your requested items in ILLiad, under Checked Out Items.
We will continue requesting renewals automatically until 8/24/2020, but if you would like to return your ILL items, you can do so anytime you want using the bookdrop located on the right side of the library entrance, by the bike racks.
If there are extraordinary circumstances that prevent you from returning your loaned items, please let us know.
Best way to reach us is via email: libraryill@utep.edu
Be safe!
